What is my prescription actually telling me?

Question

My spectacle prescription reads:

Right Eye

Sphere -1.75

----------------------- X 13

Cyl -1.25

Left Eye

Sphere -2.25

--------------------- X 175

Cyl -1.50

Can I order contact lenses (RGP?) off the internet based just on this information?

Answer 1

How are you going to guess at all the complex measurements needed to fit an RGP ?

Of course not, RGP's have to be fitted by a professional right in the office.

They are complicated lenses. No online place can make them.
